The City of Chandler has authorized spending $3.5 million to build a new recreational park for the residents surrounding the Lantana Ranch subdivision.
City Council awarded a construction contract to Nickle Contracting to develop the southeast corner of McQueen and Queen Creek roads into a public park.
The new facility will include open space turf areas, lighted multi-use courts, shaded playgrounds, outdoor fitness equipment, lighted walkways and other park amenities.
The first phase of construction, consisting of an 8-acre sliver of the large empty parcel, is expected to last no longer than a year and is being funded through the city’s impact fees.
